Wake Up Your Tired Kitchen

Do you ever walk into your kitchen and wished that it looked completely different? One quick and easy way to change the entire look of your kitchen is to revamp your existing cabinets. Not only will it save you lots of money by using your current cabinets, but it is actually something that could have been done in a day or two. There are a few different ways to spruce up your old lake home plans.

The quickest and easiest way to change your cabinets is to add a little bit of a bothered look. This is done by simple sanding the bridges and corners of each cabinet door with 80-grit sand paper. You will want to continue to sand until you can see the wood showing from underneath the paint. Obviously this method of waking up your cabinets will only work if they are painted and not stained. After you have finished your sanding, apply antiquing glaze in circular motions over the entire area. To finish the look, gently wipe the glaze in one direction until you get the look you are going for. Once you are sure you have got the right look to go with your luxury home designs, spray on a sealer to seal the deal.

If your kitchen is feeling a little bit closed in, try switching out your solid wood cabinet doors for doors with a window instead. You will be amazed at how different this will make your kitchen look. You need to decide if you want to do all of your cabinets, or only the ones that have something pretty to display. If you want to try to do this project all by yourself you can, but you can also take it to a professional who will do it perfectly too. This job will require a lot of work and patience, but the end result will be worth it!

If you have a couple of days to devote exclusively to revamping your kitchen, the most dramatic change that you can make will be to paint your cabinets a completely different color. Consider doing something a little bit out of your comfort zone and you will be surprised with the result! A deep red or dark blue could make for some amazing cabinet colors for a small home plan. Take the cabinet doors off and paint them outside or in a well ventilated area. You can also change out the knobs to spruce up the look.
